- Page organization. Use headings, lists, and a logical, consistent structure. Use CSS for layout and style where possible.
- Hypertext links. Use text that makes sense when read by itself. For example, avoid "click here."
- Images. Use the alt attribute to describe the function of each image. Avoid animated images.
- Tables. Use tables for data,not layout. Ensure that line-by-line reading ("linearization") of data tables makes sense.
- Graphs and charts. Summarize or use the longdesc attribute. Offer a data table.
- Scripts, applets, & plug-ins. Provide alternative content in case the user's browser or settings does not support these features.
- Frames. If you must use frames, at least use the noframes element and meaningful titles.
- Proofing. Check your work, validate pages, and use the tools, checklist, and guidelines at http://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG.
